100 Windows - #33

This will look a little bit like yesterday's post.  From a distance, this valance looks similar in shape and size and I just realized, this too is in a laundry room!
I had this tab valance made for my friend, who shall go unnamed because her husband installed it. I don't want people to know who he is because he installed it wrong! It's not terrible, but it's just a little incorrect.  And since they live 7 hours away, I couldn't help him.(If you spot the error, raise your hand!)
This fabric was so cute.  It was little blue and white toile-ish buttons on a yellow background. The tabs were blue and white check.  The labor of love, which I would only do for a good friend, was that I cut out the individual buttons and made covered buttons of them, that were then sewn onto the tabs. And you thought it was a simple valance!
My stylish friend completed the look by hanging those blue and white plates above the window.
Perfect!

Cutest laundry room ever!

Simple pinch pleat valance with contrast banding at hem.
 
Matching curtain to cover a niche used as a broom closet.

100 Windows - #31

Thinking Spring and the red and yellow of the tulips outside my side door.
I love this color combination!
The inverted pleat with the stripe looks so nice with the matching Roman shade underneath.
Here's a closer look at the details:
I was so surprised to see this in a model home because I had just had a slipcover for my sofa made out of the same 2 fabrics!
